Getdown Services – “The Radiator”

Bristol's Getdown Services have been unleashing acerbic post-punk tunes since 2021. The band is made up of childhood best friends Josh Law and Ben Sadler, and they have two albums under their belt: 2023's Crisps and 2025's Crumbs 2. Today they're sharing a new track called "The Radiator."

"This song is about only picking fights that you know you’ll win," Law says. "It came about because the heating wouldn’t come on once and I thought about when we bang things to make them work. Ben once told me that he used to threaten his PlayStation 1 when games wouldn’t load quick enough. The sense of victory you get when you feel like you’ve physically intimidated an inanimate object into doing what you want is bizarre and pathetic and really funny."
